From the 20th century onwards vast areas of mangrove have disappeared due to development and climate change. This extensive survey of both habitats and species is designed not only to help conservationists identify mangroves in their normal habitat, but elsewhere. The book also covers associated species, the benefits derived from mangroves, tips for those setting out to study mangroves and much more together with over 500 hundred pages identifying the various species with many line drawings. 769 pages.
